The Houston Texans are trading for New Orleans Saints punter Kai Kroeger, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal involves a late-round pick swap between the two franchises to facilitate the move.
As part of the trade, the Texans and Saints will swap selections in the 2028 NFL Draft. Houston is reportedly receiving Kai Kroeger and a 2028 seventh-round pick, while New Orleans will receive a 2028 sixth-round pick in return, per @RapSheet.
The move allows the Texans to bolster their special teams unit with the addition of the specialist as they continue to shape their roster for the upcoming season. For the Saints, the trade provides a slight upgrade in future draft capital while moving on from the punter.
